1 We sought to determine whether the increase of the message of the "growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible" gene, GADD153, could be used to assess the extent of the cellular injury response in model systems and in patients with head and neck cancer after treatment with cDDP. Cisplatin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
2 The mRNA levels of GADD153, a gene highly transcriptionally activated by cDDP damage, were increased in a transient, concentration-dependent manner by cDDP when human UMSCC10b head and neck carcinoma cells were treated with cDDP both in vitro and when grown as tumor xenografts in nude mice. Cisplatin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
3 GADD153 mRNA levels were measured in biopsies obtained before and 24 h after treatment with cDDP from 32 patients with stage III/IV head and neck cancer. Cisplatin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that the magnitude of the increase in GADD153 mRNA is a promising candidate for service as an intermediate marker of head and neck tumor response to cDDP. Cisplatin DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
